BLUESTONE STORE OPEN but Visa NO LONGER Accepted!

[Bluestone]

Hi Smudge and Chstr,

Since Paul became a Christian, I trust that he did the Christian thing and refunded all of the money. I haven't seen any complaints posted, but if anyone didn't get a refund, I will follow up with him and make sure he follows the tenets of his belief.

Yes, the promotional site will be open to all FF members! The Preferred Customers will have the guarantee, however, of being able to purchase the videos featured there, whether or not other planned ebilling solutions work or get cancelled as PayPal was after just a week. The initial funding of an account will give those preferred customers an assurance that there will be no further interruption in purchasing Bluestone and UKSG material. After a 5 month lack of such material, you can understand why there is a definite advantage for customers to join that preferred list.

This program is to ensure that the site reopens on January 31st as I promised. Other payment solutions are planned to be there on Jan. 31st, but there is no guarantee, since, as everyone knows, our material is being attacked by credit card companies worldwide. What will happen on Jan 31st is that new material will be released, and this will continue without a further hiatus. I will also be posting some, but not all, of this material on Nicheclips. If you're a UKSG fan, you'll only find their Classics at my "Silk 'N Blood" store, NOT at my Nicheclips store.

I am still working on the ultiimate stable solution, and Preferred Customers will be the first to be granted that option too. So, hopefully everyone will only have to send one money order, then other funding solutions will be added. I just didn't want everyone to have to wait any longer for the final solution!

Hope that clarifies this initiative.

I am a little concerned myself with the payment methods. But then again I've signed so many money orders in the last couple of months that I should have a book full of em, those teens setting my car a blaze has taught me that at least.

Congrats on the grand reopening; However I am quite sad about the way payments will be accepted - anyone living outside the US is essentially shut out. I was really looking forward to "The Saga of the Rogue Agent" and the UKSG classics. Guess I'll have to pass.

Really absurd that producers should resort to this sort of trickeries in order to sell the products they worked so hard on; It's not like it's anything illegal, too. Guess what would happen if everyone took out any reference to "erotic" and tried to market themselves as horror producers.

As for the "PayPal incident", I wouldn't look anywhere outside the community for explanations...

WOW++++ that is the one word for the talented models and productions on tap for the reopening.Count me in BLUE even if you deliver the videos on a Dog Sled.. Like the flexibility of your your new store. Start the countdown....54321 Blastoff.********

Agreed. I too am worried I will not be able to order anything once the site reopens :(

Its a pity the paypal option petered out. I don't understand how sites like Olaf winters Amazons, and theres another site like that. Both show female deaths galore and nudity. And are still able to keep there paypal and credit card payment option. Oloffs is starting to do more modern shootings as well, and the occasional strangling.

I tried a system like this that niche clips and you are using once. A catfight site a number of years ago. Problem is. The site stopped producing new material. And as far as I know is no longer on the web. They still have some of my money in there account. I have doubts about ever seeng that cash or getting a chance to use it again.

The problem is even if you have the best of intentions. Things happen. So the best I can hope for is you find a payment processor that doesn't have issues with your content.

Best of luck

Oh, By the way. Olafs site uses a secondary payment processer similer to Paypal. I've never went through them. But perhaps they are worth a check. I believe there an overseas site similer to paypal. Perhaps there more flexible. And I might give them a try if they were the only other option.

Not sure that I understand the UK issue. Don't you have money orders or bankers cheques over in the UK. I'm sure that you do. Secondly, I added the option of you sending funds in your own currency. So, send me 100 GBP, I'll convert it to US dollars add 10% to the amount for your troubles, and you can shop till you drop, er, I mean until your balance drops to too little to cover a purchase. Then, just send me another payment. Not sure what's not do-able about that. In this way, it's only the customer and me involved. No third party to pull the plug. My cart, my software, your credit to use as you wish whenever you want to make a purchase. Please explain to me why this solution doesn't work for the UK.

Hi Dale,

I understand your concerns, but I'm not going anywhere with anyone's money. If I was to close down my site, which would have happened already, if I was going to give up on my fans, every single cent would be returned and returned promptly. As most people here know, I do not need sales to support me or my family. All sales go back into filming costs. So, there's no way that I won't be able to return any credits to customers if the store shuts down for any reason.

Why some sites don't appear to have billing problems is simple. They haven't been shut down yet. I sold my stuff using credit cards for 5 years without incident. It's a big net. If I hadn't been targeted by someone in this community, I'd still be processing through credit cards right now. It's not a stable solution any more. It's just that other producers have not run up against that wall yet. That is why I am working on a final solution. If you want to wait for it, it'll probably take another 2 months, but in the meantime, I've decided to start posting again for those who are willing to support me in this mail order option which is costing me probably more than I will be collecting in order to implement. Again, that's fine, but don't think that I'm not committed to this option. The "Preferred" in Preferred Customer List means just that. I will post videos even if only one customer signs up, because I'm committed to bringing these videos to my customers for their enjoyment, but it's a two-way street. I will put up the costs for producing the videos and provide a simple way to open an account. All a customer has to do is send me funds to deposit to their Blueclips account. I don't think that's asking too much.

I can send you a bankers cheque for £100 no problem, Blue. If you convert it to US$ at the going rate and then tell me what credit I've got banked with you, then that should hopefully work

That will work! If you haven't already emailed me for the Preferred Customer List details, please do so. The funding of your account is not limited to money orders. Bankers cheque and other forms of cerified funds are all ok, and it can come in any currency. I will simply convert it to US Dollars, add 10%, and you're set up to buy whatever you want from the Bluestore!

In addition to the 10% bonus granted to Preferred Customers, there will be a re-opening sale at the Bluestone store. I have extended the length of this store-wide sale to Valentine's Day. My tip of the hat to The Valentine's Day Massacre, I guess. From Jan. 31st to Feb. 14th, there will be 10% off on everything in the store... and that includes the new releases. Have you emailed me about the Preferred Customer List yet? If not, you may miss out on the HUGE sale of over 200 Bluestone videos!!!

1. Those on the Preferred Customer List who have funded their accounts shall have access to Bluestone's Silk 'N Blood video store to purchase new and archived videos... all at 10% off the regular prices!

2. All FF Members will receive access codes which will be posted on this 'What's New' forum to the new home of the Bluestone Silk Videos promotional site, which access will include access to ALL of the video clips and stills in the former FF Paysite... all absolutely FREE!

So whether you buy Bluestone videos or not, all FF Members have a reason to celebrate January 31st, 2012... the Official Re-Launch of the Bluestone sites!!!!
